The Outcast Heiress's Secret Identities-Chapter 853: Does he like it when it’s his turn to get it at 0842?

Chapter 853: Does he like it when it’s his turn to get it at 0842?

The cheerful atmosphere in the living room plummeted to an ice-cold silence with just two words from Fu Qiyuan.

The old lady and Tao Wanqing’s hearts sank, and they shot dagger-like glares at Fu Qiyuan.

"You brat, what did you just say?!"

Tao Wanqing looked at him gravely, her expression darkening as her aura changed instantaneously.

She no longer appeared as the gentle and kind figure she usually was in front of Su Ran, approachable and graceful.

Now, Tao Wanqing radiated a commanding presence, exuding the grandeur of the Fu family’s matriarch.

The atmosphere in the living room became overwhelmingly tense.

Fu Qixiu shivered, covering his eyes with his hands, but his curiosity got the better of him, and he secretly peeked through his fingers.

He glanced sneakily at his sister-in-law.

Hmm?

So calm?

His brother said there wouldn’t be a wedding, yet his sister-in-law wasn’t angry?

Fu Qiyuan spoke again, "For now, no wedding!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a "pa" sound echoed in the room!

Tao Wanqing slapped the coffee table, abruptly standing up from the sofa and towering over her son.

"Why not? Xiao Ran is already your legal wife. You’ve gotten your marriage certificate and gone through all the formalities. All that’s left is the wedding, and you say no? You scoundrel! Now that you have your wife, nothing else matters to you, right?"

Fu Qiyuan’s face darkened.

Scoundrel?

Is that how a mother describes her own son?

"Mom, it’s not like that, it’s..."

Su Ran, sensing the situation was going south, was about to explain but was interrupted by Tao Wanqing’s sobbing.

"Xiao Ran, it’s Mom who has wronged you."

Su Ran was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, quickly sitting in front of her and placing a comforting hand on her shoulder, patting gently.

"Mom, you have done nothing wrong by me."

Tao Wanqing, eyes brimming with tears, looked at her dutiful daughter-in-law, and they began to stream down her face.

"Letting you marry such a dominating and unromantic man is the greatest wrong I’ve done you. A wedding is the most important event in a woman’s life, but now I can’t even give you a wedding. Wah..."

As she spoke, she hugged Su Ran and began sobbing.

Su Ran: "..."

Holding Tao Wanqing’s trembling shoulders, she comforted:

"Mom, it’s not like that; it’s me who let..."

Just then, Tao Wanqing sat up straight again, staring at Su Ran with determination.

"Xiao Ran, don’t worry. Mom understands the principle of cutting losses in time."

Su Ran was puzzled.

"A scoundrel who isn’t willing to hold a wedding isn’t worth keeping! Director Zhao shouldn’t have gone far yet; I’ll call him now. You’re divorcing this brat immediately! Don’t worry, I’ll introduce you to someone better, more excellent! We’ll get divorced in the morning and remarried in the afternoon!"

"Don’t you dare!!"

Just as Tao Wanqing finished speaking, a low growl filled with suppressed anger sounded suddenly.

Her hand, which was reaching for her phone, shook in fright!

Instantly, the entire living room fell into dead silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop!

Fu Qiyuan, who usually remained calm and composed, seldom showed his emotions. Though it was rare to see him smile, it was even rarer to see him truly lose his temper, especially in front of the old lady.

But now, the cold aura emanating from him was truly terrifying.

No one dared to make a sound!

Startled, Tao Wanqing pointed a trembling finger at her son.

"You... you did wrong, and you dare to scold me? I... I’m calling your father."

Saying this, she continued to pull out her phone.

Fu Qixiu almost rolled off the sofa in alarm, not caring about his image, quickly reaching out to stop her.

"No! Mom! My dear mother, don’t call!"

As a member of the lowest tier in the family chain, if Dad received the call, he would be the first to suffer! In the end, he would suffer!

Whatever happened, he would suffer throughout!

Su Ran also comforted Tao Wanqing by holding her shoulder, while staring resolutely at the man beside them.

The chill in the air suddenly dissipated, like a punctured balloon, instantly deflating!

"Mom, it was I who asked Ah Yuan to postpone the wedding." Su Ran finally said what she had been wanting to say.

Hearing this, Tao Wanqing was taken aback, then looked at Su Ran with disapproval.

"Why? Why not have the wedding? Are you foolish?"

The old lady and Fu Qixiu were also surprised, not expecting Su Ran to be the one suggesting postponing the wedding.

Su Ran smiled gently, "It’s not that there won’t be a wedding; it is just temporarily postponed."

"What’s the difference? We’ll have to do it sooner or later; it’s better to get it done early for peace of mind. Are you worried about the old man?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

The old lady frowned, "What does that old guy have to do with it?"

Fu Qixiu raised an eyebrow, "Grandma, you don’t know? Grandpa’s ideal granddaughter-in-law is the Chu family’s eldest daughter, Chu Xiyao."

Upon hearing this, the old lady sneered, "What does it matter to him who my grandson marries? Does his opinion matter?"

"Yes, daughter-in-law, the most important thing is the mutual love between you and Qiyuan. Everything else is irrelevant. Besides, you should be more cautious! Men don’t carry their marriage certificates everywhere. Without a wedding, how do you establish your claim?

A wedding is the most joyous and romantic moment in a woman’s life. You are outstanding and deserve to have everyone witness your happiness. Your parents..."

Tao Wanqing suddenly halted, quickly holding back her words.

She suddenly understood why Qiyuan agreed to postpone the wedding.

A wedding is indeed the happiest and most significant moment in a woman’s life, not only shared with her beloved but also blessed by friends and family!

She had heard about the Su family’s situation. With such a father and grandmother, how could there be any blessings?

And Su Ran’s mother...

A wedding without her maternal family, who would support her? Who would stand by her? Who would lead her to happiness?

Holding a wedding at this time would leave her with no family, nobody and nothing except her husband’s family!

This world has never truly been kind to anyone. The Fu family, a "Dragon Pool and Tiger’s Den," faced with the Fu family and the outside world, without maternal support, would provide reason for attacks, blame, even insults, and humiliation.

In this most important and joyous moment, wasn’t it also a form of cruelty?

Xiao Ran surely also wanted her mother to witness her happiness!

Fu Qiyuan’s expression changed first, casting a dissatisfied glance at Tao Wanqing, then nervously looking at Su Ran.

Su Ran paused briefly, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

"Don’t worry, Mom, my mother knows... she will surely be happy for me."

Tao Wanqing looked at Su Ran, despite her indifferent demeanor, her forced smile, and stubborn determination were truly heartbreaking.

The hidden sadness and forbearance in her eyebrows deeply pierced Fu Qiyuan’s heart.

The girl by his side was always striking and bold, reckless and uninhibited.

He was used to her mischievous vitality, her earnest little rascality, so he couldn’t bear to see even a trace of sorrow on her face.

Fu Qiyuan’s heart filled with pain and tenderness. Just as he was about to stand up and approach the girl, wanting to pull her into his embrace, Tao Wanqing stepped forward first, hugging her shoulders gently and bringing her into her arms.
